Hey Rob. Yeah I've gone through (3) S6, (1) S6 Edge, (1) G4, (2) Nexus 6, (2) M9, and (1) M9+ in the past 4 months lol. All boring. The curved display of the Flex always intrigued me and when I read that 5.1.1 came out for AT&T and that battery and thermals improved and has root I had to get one. Also, $249 for a flagship phone WHAT?!?!?
I'm quite happy with it! Rooted, debloated, Xposed, tuned thermals, KCAL. Loving it so far. Love the curve the best. It always gets attention.

What kind of battery life are your getting? I was going to wait for the iPhone 6s or nexus 2015 but I got impatient and bought one. Hopefully I like it as much as my active, I just am bored of touch wiz (I've had a fairly similar list like you)

No complaints on battery life. It's on par with the M9s I've had which I thought was very good. Compared to your active though with it's bigger battery it will not be as good.

Ah, although the m9 lasted for me, I only got 4hrs screen on time in a day on it. The active, 6.5-7 however there's no way I'd actually use it that much in a day

I have to second the last page having best instructions. I followed them and only had one hiccup where I had to uncheck the make backup of apk when uninstalling it. The uninstall would not run with the box checked. Once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing.
what are the benefits of removing carrier iq, especially since I am an overseas user who is never on AT&T?
can someone elaborate please?
CarrierIQ gathers data no matter the carrier, many feel it is an invasion of privacy that was not authorized. It adds nothing to your user experience to keep it but at the same time doesn't really slow down the phone. It's up to you if you care that they know what you "anonymous" user are doing.

Normal,, the thread title and subject are absolutely not about the release date ....
I emailed them and this was their reply:
"Unfortunately the release for this device has been delayed a little. It should be released within the following weeks. We apologize for the long wait and appreciate your patience."
Within the following weeks is extremely vague a timeframe. It could mean 2 weeks from now, 3 weeks from now, or next week. Which one? I'm certainly not banking on next week of course. Dual SIM with good specs at good price point is why I'm still with it, disappointed and all.Still nervous about software updates considering the company's reputation.

Maybe they are waiting for a Marshmallow release. Tgat would hedge the lack of updates issue for a year or so, but I think the odds are slim to none
I would love it if Marshmallow were the real reason, eh? I surely don't bet on it. There have been two other things cited-something about software and something about the quick chargers. So who really knows why. When it comes to updates, one thing that also counts is bugs and fixes, staying on top of things like that. Asus is decent with that with their Zenfone. In the short time I had mine, I had regular firmware updates.

I think I'll be still getting this phone. The bang/buck is just too big to ignore.
Even if I keep it stock, I think I'll be happy.
I'd like to still use Android Pay, and I don't think anyone's found a way to use it w/ a custom ROM (I could be wrong, but I haven't seen it).
I highly doubt they're holding out for Marshmallow, that's another 3-5mos of work in all reality...
Pure XL release delay
Blu posted on their Facebook page last week that the phones are ready to ship, but that they are waiting on the phone chargers from their vendor. Also state they'll post a release date update this week.
I don't want to spend another $300 on top of this phone, but that new Windows XL phone w/ Continuum is spiffy!
1st time I thought I would want a Windows phone too...

True that
Windows echo system and applications will just never catch up. Example black berry.

Agreed. I switched to Windows for a little while just to test it out and while I mostly liked it, I still ultimately prefer Android. My credit union doesn't have a Windows app and the mobile browser in my Windows phone didn't work correctly on their site so I couldn't do my banking so there were some quirks. Things like that but it still was mostly a decent phone that I might still use as my second line for the time being until I can get a good dual SIM phone.I'm using a not all that great but so so Alcatel go phone right now along with my trusty Note 3.

Some people on Twitter say they ordered even though the page says temporarily out of stock. we'll see what happens. . . i'm going to wait for now.
How can it be out of stock when it was never in stock? I'm holding off anyway because of an LTE concern that I brought up in another thread. I also would opt to wait until they came in stock anyway. And then if I saw that the LTE band that is missing is confirmed as not one near my house, I don't know, I MIGHT still consider this phone. I was looking forward to it delay and all until I read a review that it is missing support for an LTE band. (on both AT&T and T-Mobile for that matter. I'm on AT&T) I mean, I want proper coverage if I'm outlaying the $$$$. So then again, maybe I still would bypass it as I expect full LTE if it is being promoted as such. Will have to see how that unfolds.

I might get this as a backup phone. If anything I'll return it if I don't like it. Amazon is the best when it comes to stuff like that.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
I already figure that I'd least get phone reception just fine, (my 4G backup Alcatel go phone on second line is serving that purpose currently just fine and isn't LTE of course) whereas on the Zenfone2 because of the second SIM only being 2G, that part did in fact make a difference and I couldn't even use the second SIM for calls. This is why I'm being fussy. I'm sure the Pure XL will give strong phone coverage so I'd probably be okay there, but I do still hold to wanting my full LTE access and I want to see if this gets addressed. I mean, I want LTE for data usage when I'm in non WIFI areas. First though this phone has to actually be out in actual use so we can find out already!

I put my pre-order in anyway as I have been running tests on LTE bands in my area assessing the concern I have with not having Band 5 for it, and my area doesn't seem to use Band 5 anyway, so I'm willing to take the gamble. No idea though of a shipping date.

People's phones are being shipped now of course and some have them now. Mine is now due for delivery Thursday 10/22. Gold is currently in stock. Grey is available for pre-order. No word yet on the black one.

I just got my Note 5 and, after connecting it to my WIFI, it shows "connected" but I can't open anything on the Web while connected to WiFi. The Speedtest app always says "network communication issues". I was able to use the wifi a couple of times, but lost it again. I talked to a Verizon agent and he tried a few things. Nothing worked. He connected me to a Samsung customer who simply told me that the problem was related to my router, not the phone. However, my Note 3 is connected to the same router and I have never had any problem. And all my other devices work with no problem on the same Wi-Fi. Anyone had or know of a similar problem? At this point I am simply thinking about returning the phone and going back to my Note 3

Could be a hardware malfunction. If it's happening and you just got the phone, that's what I'd lean towards. Can you connect to other WiFi hotspots? If so and it works just fine, then it might not be so simple.
I have a similar problem like this with my note 5. I have had mine a little over a week now and my issue is for some reason my note 5 will continuously connect to WiFi and disconnect and reconnect back to WiFi and it would do this every 5 mins. This is causing my phone to have terrible battery life but on 4G my phone will last about a day and a half to 2 days. My WiFi signal is Very strong the phone says but it would still lose connection to it. I myself came from the Note 3 and my note 3 never lost connection to my WiFi. I have a Netgear router wireless N+ and i use the 5Ghz output on it. Lately now i noticed its getting better its not disconnecting as much as it was when i first got the phone i don't know why its weird. I was about to return it thinking it was a hardware issue. I was told that the Note 5 is going to be getting marshmallow update soon by best buy so maybe that will include a fix for these WiFi issues and battery drain issues.

Yeah. I just talked to a Verizon agent again. I am taking it to a store to have it replaced. Hoping they have the 64GB version in store.

Took the phone to the Verizon Store but they didn't have the 64GB version in store. They ordered a new one and it arrived yesterday. It connected right away to my WIFI and I haven't had a single hiccup since. And to think that the Samsung representative I spoke too said the problem with the other phone was my Wifi!
Loving this phone so far but can't wait for my case to arrive because it's not as comfortable to hold and type on as my Note 3, which I am so used to.

It's interesting how some of these CSR's handle customers. I always go back to the store especially when the device is new. Glad you're enjoying the 5.

Im still struggling to love this note 5. Even after a month, I haven't really fully fell in love with it. I fell in love instantly with my note 3 2 years ago. But I'm really loving; the nice screen, the thin profile, finger print scanner, front/rear camera and the fast usb 2.0 charging. I'm not loving that it's more narrow than the previous note 4 and note 3. Feels a little too narrow for my fat, chubby and sausage fingers. But sall good, I make do

I use mine as a business phone because I'm a basketball coach. It allows me to take notes, draw up opponents plays and video tape some information without carrying additional media devices. The form factor has changed and the glass backing takes some getting use to. I just use a case, all the other feature I'm enjoying so far.

Hey guys I'm new here just Traded in My Note 7 and decided to give LG a try because of the recall. Haven't owned an LG in years, and usually stick with Samsung for Android and the iPhone. Can say so far after I received the Marshmallow update last night thus phone has been a beast. Only thing I'm missing is Samsung Pay but with only one card that actually worked with it it's not much of a lost. Just wanted to say hi. Ill be around waiting for the LG V20 announcement and the new iPhone but so far no regrets.

I did the same thing yesterday. I know that was Samsung's first recall, but for something like that to get by qa I'll let the Note 7 be enjoyed by others
Did the same thing this morning. I'm not all that impressed by the dac on this phone. How does it sound to you guys? I haven't updated to marshmallow yet, can that be it?
DAC sounds fine to me you can't take dollar headphones and expect to be mind blown by the sound quality. Get some nice pair of cans so you can actually hear the difference. Mine sounds very good using it with a pair of HD 630VB.
Phone was running very well to me, but today it won't connect calls with Voice over LTE enabled . Damn I can't catch a break. Does anyone know if this is common. It did the Marshmallow update, and another one last night.

Well update, toggled everything on and off and working so far.
Lol. I guess we are the Displaced Note 7 users. Lol.
Edit: Voice over LTE not working. But I'll just deal with it, I guess the good thing is when I decide what phone I want to get next I can probably return without a restocking fee.

There is an issue with VoLTE on the latest update where you can't hear the ringing when you make a call, but the call will work. Have you tried waiting to see if the call does connect?

This phone + dac fix + power amp + high quality audio files = awesomeness
If you haven't updated to Marshmallow not all apps work with the dac, that could be why you are not hearing improvements. Either update to MM or get the dac fix.
Do you guys think sprint will deactivate all the note 7 on their network? ... i want to keep using my note 7 until s8 comes out.
They won't do that but they may try to force you to trade it for another phone

You took the words right out of my mouth!!! Mine has been running flawlessly since day 1! The only way I would give it up is if i could go back to my note 4 as well. I just hope they let us keep them until the S8 comes out (Feb. of next year) or something...at this point I don't want to trade it in to go backwards technology wise and I hate Apple so yeah...what do we do?
Both our original, and replacements have run without heating up either. The only reply I got from Samsung is to stop using the phone, and return it for a replacement or refund. Not interested in changing phones either. I did notice the new phones said SDI SDI again when I checked the battery type (a forum here said those were the bad phones), but after software, prl, profile updates the type now says BATTERY.
